A nostalgic evening full of laughs with Walmington-on-Sea’s Home Guard, led by the pompous Captain Mainwaring. Whether they’re battling the Germans or their own incompetence, the platoon are never far from a disaster in this classic wartime comedy!
When Marianne and Roland meet at a party, they really hit it off. Or maybe they don’t. Do they go for a drink together, or do they go their separate ways? As the couple’s lives unfold, we see the multiple versions of their relationship with every possible happy ending or heartbreak. A romance with a quantum theory twist, this critically-acclaimed drama is ingenious, funny and spell-binding.
Content guidance: The play contains strong language and adult themes including discussion of assisted suicide.
1947 America. Successful businessman Joe Keller and his family live comfortably in a suburban neighbourhood. But when a figure from the past dredges up long-buried secrets, the family find themselves in a tragic downfall of lies, loss and greed. This electrifying exploration of an American dream gone sour is amongst Miller’s most enduring works.
All aboard for this much-loved story of family, adventure and trains! When their father leaves suddenly under mysterious circumstances, Bobbie, Peter, Phyllis and their mother must move to rural Yorkshire where life is very different. The children meet new friends, save the day, and discover a world full of imagination, love and resilience.
